Y'know, I just noticed a HUGE faux pas in this picture. Dimitri 'Rocket Red' Pushkin is not in it. The Rocket Red in the picture is Rocket Red 7, who was a Manhunter robot. He was then replaced on the team by Rocket Red 4 (Dimitri Pushkin) who even went on to get his exclusive Apokoliptean Rocket Red armor, when his own Russian made was destroyed by Lobo.

Michael , Ted (And Jaime), Bea and Tora, because like Hell would I ever cut one of them, and they would remain the core characters.

Guy and J'onn (For the sake of the newbies) would be reserve members, sometimes around but not always. J'onn would serve as a mentor to Michael, now that he's the one running things.

Taking those two's spots would be the two newbies: Anita Fite (Empress) and Connor Hawke (Green Arrow). With Jaime on the team, there's a precedent for teens, Anita's personality I think would clash well against the other's, she spent a good chunk of her life outside America, and her power set is different from the others. And for Connor, likewise, more diversity and he's someone who didn't spend his life in the US, and with no J'onn, he'd be the group's straight man.

And to round out the roster, I'd bring in Dmitri, Kimiyo and Mary Marvel. (And were they not doing anything else, roster changes would eventually bring in Scott, Barda, Ralph and Sue.)

Guy basically served as 'the co-worker that no one really gets along with but proves to be a valuable asset in times of difficulty'. Cocky, arrogant, opinionated... even thinking that they deserve a better position than their peers. And perhaps could actually be worthy of that position, if not for their sheer lack of tact and/or people skills.
